Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justin Dunn (shoulder) was diagnosed with a muscle strain in his right shoulder.

Hamilton has played […]

John King Could Be Getting A Larger Role

Texas Rangers pitcher John King may be getting promoted. With some of the team's staff struggling, the veteran could be tasked with taking on a more prominent role within the rotation.

Brandon Lowe Gets Another Night Off

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe won't start on Saturday evening against the Mariners. However, manager Kevin Cash indicated that Lowe's absence is "just a day off," as the skipper will hold him out against Seattle righty Logan Gilbert.

Joel Embiid Questionable Again

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Sunday's Game 7 matchup against Atlanta.

Cody Bellinger Appears In Simulated Game On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (hamstring) played in a simulated game on Saturday. Max Muncy (oblique) also played in a simulated game on Saturday.

Randy Dobnak Limits The Damage In No-Decision

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Randy Dobnak rebounded nicely in Saturday's start against the Texas Rangers. Dobnak allowed 14 combined runs in his last two appearances but pitched five solid innings, allowing two runs on four hits against Texas.

Cam Reddish Remains Out On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) won't play on Sunday for the critical Game 7 matchup against Philadelphia. It's not a question of if, but rather when the 21-year-old will be available if the team advances to the Eastern Conference Finals. Reddish has checked all the boxes from a medical standpoint but will need to […]

Albert Pujols Takes A Seat On Saturday

In Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, first baseman Albert Pujols isn't starting. However, Matt Beaty, a left-handed hitter, is starting at first base for the Los Angeles Dodgers since they're facing a right-handed pitcher in Matt Peacock. Pujols and Beaty typically platoon, since Pujols is a right-handed hitter. Since joining the Dodgers, Pujols is hitting […]
